Contextly - San Francisco - Local, Possibly Remote

Contextly is making online news better. We're currently in a closed beta of our related links service, a beta that includes Wired.com and other top tech blogs.

We're looking for a technical co-founder to build and architect (in the widest possible conception of that term) a better future for online news. Pardon the generalities, but we actually believe that stealth is underrated for startups.

If you are passionate about journalism and big data and want to build something that actually makes a difference, drop us a line, we'd love to talk.

There's many decisions yet to be made about our future stack, so being proficient at choosing the right tools in an honest manner is more important than having X years experience in Python/Ruby/MongoDB, etc.

E-mail ryan@contextly.com with "HN" in the subject line.

Santa Clara, CA, USA - London, UK - Bangalore, India Arista Networks is looking for software engineers, hardware engineers and software interns (as well as a bunch of other positions I probably don't know about). We are a fast-growing pre-IPO company that produces high-performance datacenter ethernet switches. More information at http://www.aristanetworks.com/en/careers

hey fishpi, I think there might be a problem with your website. When I click software engineer I got the hardware engineer description, and when I clicked hardware engineer I got the Technical Solutions Engineer description. I tried this with IE9 and Opera Version 11.62 on Windows 7 and both yielded same result

Cambridge, MA (or REMOTE). Full-time.

Do you like low-level systems programming? Does the idea of hacking on an old-school graphics demo that fits into a DOS MBR in your free time appeal to you? Does "Dazed and confused, but trying to continue" mean anything to you? Have you ever told a joke whose punch line was a git command? If you've answered yes to any of the above, I think we'll be fast friends -- and we want to hear from you.

We're looking for engineers who are excited to work on technology that most people will tell you is impossible: updating an OS kernel while it is running. Help us bring rebootless kernel updates to Linux, as well as new operating system kernels and other parts of the software stack. You must have prior experience with operating systems, including kernel programming, debugging, porting, memory management, and/or virtualization. Experience with compilers is also relevant.

About us: We're a small, tight-knit team of twelve men and women that enjoy working on hard technology problems. We were recently acquired by Oracle, and are eager to take advantage of its vast resources to get Ksplice into the hands of sysadmins everywhere.

Feel free to direct questions to me at waseem.daher@oracle.com or to jobs@ksplice.com. If you're interested, send us a resume and we'll be in touch. Oracle is an equal opportunity employer.

MetArt / SexArt - Los Angeles, CA, Vancouver, BC or REMOTE

MetArt is one of the oldest and busiest paid adult websites anywhere. For over 12 years, MetArt has been the leader in high-quality softcore pornography.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I am not interested in this particular job but why would you want to use Spring.NET? Is it because you are migrating from a Java application using Spring.NET? Are there any other reasons? If you are moving to C#, I would definitely recommend another framework which is more suited to leverage C#/.NET. The reason I am suggesting is that because it is very difficult to hire good C#/.NET developers these days and the pro…

When this application was started around 2008 or so we had a number of frameworks to choose from. At the time we chose spring.net. Looking back on it, that was a good choice considering most of our alternatives at the time (and since) have come and gone. Particularly Microsoft technologies that seem to come and go all the time. We're pretty happy that we chose a reliable, stable and well-maintained library such as sp…

I think Spring.NET is too verbose and too big. I would rather use few well tested and idiomatic C# frameworks as an alternative to Spring.NET

E.g. IOC - You can use MEF which is part of the framework. OR my personal favorite Ninject.

Web Applications - Without a doubt ASP.NET MVC.

Aspect Oriented Programming - Postsharp

DataAccess - I do not think ORM technology is mature enough to use it for any complicated work. For simpler things, Dapper does the trick.

I believe in using best tool for a given problem instead of using one monolithic framework. I especially don't like Spring framework because it needs too much configuration in terms of XML files. I prefer configuration through code approach.

Email me if you want to discuss more.

CoffeeTable - San Francisco - Full time, local.

At CoffeeTable (http://www.coffeetable.com), we’re combining the best parts of commerce, catalog shopping, and tablet devices to create truly inspiring shopping experiences. Whereas the ecommerce giants like Amazon and EBay are all about searching and comparing technical specs, we’re putting the fun back into shopping. Discover products, shop with friends, and get that same special feeling when you walk into a store and they know your name, your size, and exactly what you’d like but didn’t know it.

Referral Bonus: Refer a candidate that we hire, and win a new, top-of-the-line iPad 3! (64GB, Wi-Fi + 4G)

Looking For:

* Senior iOS developers

* Server-side developers (CT is a Rails shop, but love Python/Django devs too)

* Front-end web developers

CoffeeTable is a small team (2 developers) looking to grow in a big way. New hires will have a huge opportunity to make a big impact across the board, from product direction, to design, to architecture.

Well funded ($2.5MM Series A from Strategic Partners in the catalog industry) and located right across from AT&T Park in San Francisco.
